In today’s episode, we have academic trainee at the University of Pretoria - Thalene Hanekom - blessing the mic. She was amongst the top 4 in her CTA class, ranked no. 5 in the SAICA Initial Test of Competence for 2024 and is a CFA level 1 holder. We explore the interconnected relationship of loving what you do but also why you do it.

We also chat about:

• The story behind the certificate and painting the canvas of your journey;
• CAs as global finance professionals;
• The power of South African pride;
• Demystifying the unexpected struggles of a top student;
• Loving what you do vs why you do it;
• how to see the bright side of any module;
• Accountability vs responsibility, and more.

Enjoy!
